The blitz (WW2 London) was a terror attack by Hitler’s own admission I think. The explicit aim was to impact civilian morale.
I believe Dresden was justified at the time as being against an industrial base, but the regardless of whether that’s true or not, it was certainly a war crime by today’s standards. Same for the dam attacks.
